Great product but could use improvements
on August 25, 2025
Posted by: GS723
Love all of the data and accuracy of the r10, I bought it bc I wanted to track more than just carry distance and the value with the r10 is amazing. I use mine at an outdoor range. Problems I’ve had: it misses balls a lot more than my Voice Caddie SC200, I would say maybe 10-20% of my shots don’t get read by the r10 whereas my SC200 misses maybe 2% of shots I hit. I also wish it had some better design in some key areas. I wish there were more separate physical buttons so I could easily turn the power off the machine, and enter it into pairing mode so I could more easily switch which device my r10 is paired with, right now it’s really clunky and takes too much time to switch devices. I also wish there was the option to have a simple, affordable, standalone monitor to use with the r10, it’s a bit annoying I have to dedicate a device to it (good thing I have multiple old phones I can use for golf practice, but it’s not ideal). In general, I still prefer using my Voice Caddie bc of how much more simple it is to use, but still happy with the r10.

Getting closer, I hope.

I bought this for an indoor simulator and have had issues with it dropping Bluetooth at certain times of the day.
I have windows in my shop and it worked perfectly when it was dark outside so I blocked my windows during the day and that didn’t help.
I have done my own troubleshooting and I am getting closer.

Experience with GSPro
on August 29, 2025
Posted by: CornBred89
This launch monitor works great for my budget garage sim setup. I use it with GSPro. I did get frustrated with it when connecting via Bluetooth to my PC. It seemed very finicky but later discovered it wasnt the monitor itself. When connecting to PC it will seem to drop connection but what was really happening is it was waiting for the "handshake" with the GSPro software. Not the R10s fault. So i found the order of operations is to turn on the R10 first, then launch GSPro. Since then, no issues at all with Bluetooth connection. My only real gripe is it struggles to read short chip shots for GSPro.

Doesn't catch shot. It takes too long to figure out app.

Great product

Great product easy to set up and great for the range to dial in your distances before hitting the course. Product worked great and gave similar numbers to the trackman system. Easy storage to pack away and bring to your next tee box or driving range. Great for both beginners or guys who want to know exactly where the ball is going. Overall worth every dollar.

Amazing piece of equipment for the price!

I Got this to have the ability to practice at home more, and hope to get the r50 asap! I love this thing! Home tee hero is so awesome!!!! Only downside I would say is that chipping can be a little bit off it seems that 20-30 yard range id where it struggles a little. Other than that, thing is amazing!
